Makeover - How We Did It

We trimmed 40 calories and 3g of fat per serving by preparing this delicious recipe with reduced fat cheddar cheese, substituting reduced fat sour cream for the margarine, and replacing the sautéed chopped onions with sliced green onions to both eliminate the cooking step and add color to the twice-baked potatoes.

Shortcut

The potatoes can be "baked" in the microwave instead of the oven. Pierce potatoes as directed, then microwave on HIGH 12 to 14 min. or until tender, turning after 6 min. Let stand 5 min. Stuff potato shells, then bake in conventional oven as directed.
